Now Ditch Nord Stream 1 – Scholz under pressure over Germany's Russia ties as fury erupts

“Since there was no need for additional gas capacity, Nord Stream 2 was only a political project from the beginning. Economically, it never made any sense.

“From my point of view, it would be helpful if Germany also stopped Nord Stream 1. GTSOU could handle the capacities.

“Increasing dependence on Ukrainian infrastructure could increase the pressure on Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine and ensure that Ukrainian gas infrastructure does not become a target of Russian attacks.”

He added: “Of course, any initiative in or by Russia aimed at stopping this unprovoked attack on Ukraine would be a step in the right direction.”
